Uni-Coat Measuring Cup + Lid

Uni-Coat-Measuring-Cup-Lid-G
Uni-Coat has an 8:1 mixing ratio of Resin to Hardener. This means that you should measure out 8 fluid ounces of Resin and add 1 fluid ounce of Hardener to achieve the correct mix -- a total volume of 9 fluid ounces.
You can divide or multiply these numbers - for instance 4 fluid ounces of resin and 1/2 fluid ounce of hardener for a total volume of 4 1/2 fluid ounces. Our professional paint measuring cup offers you an easy way to do this using only one container.

How to Use
- Find the column marked 8:1:1 at the top (it's the column furthest to the right).
- Notice that the column is divided into three vertical sections.
- Notice that there are 3 sets of horizontal lines in this column marked 1, 1, 1 - 2, 2, 2 etc.
- Plan to ignore the third (right hand) vertical section of this column because Uni-Coat is only a 2 part product.
- Place the measuring cup on a box or shelf so that sits flat at eye level. Do not hold it in your hand. This is the only way to get an accurate measurement.
- Decide how much Uni-Coat you want to mix up today. Remember that the mix will solidify in 4 to 6 hours whether or not you put the cap on the cup.
- To mix up the smallest amount, pour in enough Uni-Coat Resin to come up to the first (lowest down) horizontal line marked #1.
- Still keeping the lines on the cup at eye level, pour in enough Uni-Coat Hardener to raise the total liquid level to the next line #1 - the middle horizontal line.
- THAT'S IT - you have now measured out 8 parts of Resin and 1 part of Hardener.
Stir the mix well with a wooden, metal or glass stirring rod. Do NOT use plastic to stir the mix - the solvents in the Uni-Coat might dissolve it.
